Have decided to treat myself to a low-mileage week as I taper down for the Gloucester half marathon on 27th July. Am thinking a PB could be on the cards now my stamina is up.
Monday 21st July
8km (5 miles) on the treadmill, very steady. Felt like I could do more but told myself not to. Did 20 minutes of core exercises instead.
Tuesday 22nd July
Decided to give the track a miss and do a shorter speed session on my own, hills and sprints.
1.6k treadmill, jog out to the ridge, 2 sets of 3 hill reps and 3 sprints, jog back, 1.6k treadmill. Followed by 20 minutes of core work (this seems a good way of fitting it in as opposed to a whole hour of it).
Plan for the rest of the week: body pump tomorrow, rest Thursday, sports massage Friday, light pump Saturday (no squats or lunges). Hopefully this will leave me with nice fresh legs and itching to run Sunday.
